Pregnancy after Miscarriage or Loss ~ May/June/July 2011

possum - haha youve never heard of big unit? which state are you in? i was from sw sydney maybe its a sydney thing? or maybe just my town i dunno!! she put on at least 30kgs with each pregnancy, i think she loved her food though! i sometimes cant be bothered eating, i still eat but my heart isnt in it ;)
ive been telling the girls is my baby buddies group that i started pregnancy yoga, you should try it its very good.. my dvds go for about 45 mins so its not too long and i feel great afterwards.. not tight and very relaxed.. my back feels alot better too.. i stand allllllll day at work, working in a hardware full of men who dont get it isnt helpful!
hahah nesting? id call it crazy.. we prob wont sell the house by then so we will probably still be here but i just want to make sure its at least started so the pressure isnt on when the house does sell!

melster - i think you are thinking about someone else with the cs/vb.. this is my first.. but im hoping for a vb anyway! i dont really care though! i dont really know much info about either, is that bad?
im hearing you on the heartburn though, gaviscon is part of my daily routine.. its getting to the point where im spew burping.. its very annoying.. isnt the old wives tale heartburn means lots of hair? that would be right, she is going to take after her bloody father... he is covered in hair!! just my luck!! haha!

cheshire - im sorry your dd is sick, could it be asthma or a chest infection? i hope she feels better soon. how far along are you now?

bec - im so glad everything is going great guns this time.. you so deserve it xxx

wbm, indias mum, & luna - how are you going?

have i missed anyone? im sorry if i have and if i have how are you going?

just an update on dampyre - apparently she is still having contractions and vomiting.. they are doing everything they can to stop an early delivery. she isnt in a good place emotionally atm so i dont think she is on bb for now. if you want regular updates the baby buddies 1-15th sep that im in will keep you updated, a girl is in contact via sms with her. i will still update in here though..

all good here, nothing really to report.. dh cant really feel her kicking when his hand is on my belly.. she feels too far inside/low down to me, she have me a couple of good boots last night but when he put his hand there she stopped!

Cheshire - I'm SE too, around Chadstone way. We made the trek to the city and the boys loved it. So many leaves - such an exhausted little boy. He loves nature - and it was a gorgeous day!!! Then I helped my brother pick up pavers for his garden. Even though I didn't do the lifting, I think I overdid it.

Must dash, stinky nappy!

Thanks for the updates Alish, i really hope they can keep her bub in for a few more weeks.

WM I'm down in Pakenham & sounds like you all had a lovely day out :)

Maddi has a chest infection, whooping cough swab came back all clear. So we just keep going with the Ab's & the Asthma pump till we see the Dr on Mon.
The pump has helped her heaps her but if she doesn't have it regularly she has the worst coughing fits & she still has a rattle on her chest you can hear it when she's coughs & talks but hopefully th Ab's will clear it up soon.

Nothing else happening here & i'm 22wks now :)

Oh wow Luna - 12 weeks now and all good test results. It seems like your dream will get to come true this time.

Melster - sorry to hear about your discomfort with the heartburn. I've always found it annoying but I didn't realise it could get that bad.

Alish - Thanks for keeping us up to date on Damprye. I have been worried about her.

Nothing much else to report here. I have my morphology scan next week and my Mum is all excited as I asked her to come. It will be grandchild no. 13 for her but she just loves babies.

hmmm quiet in here... I was at a friend's place last night and played with her doppler - it was great to hear little treasure's heart beating :heartbeat: away in there :D

Cheshire - I hope your DD is getting better rapidly

yes its very quiet in here

my gfriend has a doppler...i kept thinking about borrowing it.....

6 weeks to go..........wow thats so scary.........im on two tablets of rani 2 for the hb......its working and havent been throwing up but still get the girgling. But now im getting headaches and feel sick......dont know if its the tablets or just the end of my pregnancy......still havent made my mind up about the csection...i see the ob on thur

Good luck Melster - may this week be a week of clarity and serenity :) So glad the rani 2 is helping!

Melster why would you be having a C-section? I must of missed that post.
GL with seeing the ob on Thurs :)

Nothing happening here, I went through the garage & found all the girls baby clothes, but when we had flooding a few months back the water got to them & what the water did get the stupid mice the flood brought in then.
I think i got 10 outfits that we could use. I'm so bummed as i had so much stuff & now i have to pretty much go out & buy it all again.

Melster: Glad tablets are helping. GL with your decision re c/s vs VBAC. What does your dr think your chances are/risks for a VBAC? I'm asking cos i thought if he's not highly optimistic then a planned caesar would be less stressful than an emergency one (if you needed it because the VBAC didn't work).
Cheshire: that is a bummer having to start again, especially when you must have had good supplies with two girls already. Though i guess you'll have fun getting to shop for stuff.
WBM: Thanks for the advice on managing the pulling i'm getting in stomach and back muscles. I'm trying to motivate myself to start swimming or pilates but a spin round the office will have to do for the meantime!
Alish: I'm from Melbourne! Oh, and thanks for updating on Damprye. Sounds like she's having a terribly rough time of it. I'll be thinking of her and hoping baby holds on a few weeks longer til delivery.
India's mum: Look forward to hearing about your morph scan. Are you finding out the gender? (I haven't missed something there have i? Did you find out already from amnio?)


AFM: 28wks today. Hurrah! So impatient to get to the finish line! My good friend had her baby this week. Sooo jealous! I still get nervous about everything turning out ok and can't wait to have baby safely here.

Hi everyone, look at you all won't be long until you're all holding your bub's in your arms! Welcome to the newbies :)

Cheshire - If you need anything let me know, Elise has just grown out of 0000's (I have some gorgeous tie-dyed 0000 bonds wondersuits that my mum brought down with her the other week that Elise never got to wear :( as they were too small), and will soon grow out of 000's, I even have 000 singlets and t-shirts from K-mart still with their tags on that she'll never get to wear. PM if you want any of them as they'll just get listed on ebay otherwise.

afm - Gosh, still can't believe that Elise is 2 months old already... where has the time gone? seems to have flown by...
The way things are looking at the moment I may be joining you ladies again, hubby & I DTD unprotected on CD11, I think I O'd somewhere between CD13 and CD17, and today is CD19 and I've had a pit of pink tinged EWCM... starting to freak out a bit as hubby doesn't want any more kids and I wanted to wait at least 3 years before having another one if we decided to head back down that road again lol

Hope you're all well, I do get online every now and then, usually I'm just on FB though, or too busy to remember to hop on here, and I do read every few days just to keep up with everything lol

hugs and belly rubs to you all!

Thanks Jenna very kind of you :)

WB one part of me is excited to shop again but the other part is so ****ed. We lost blankets, towels, beanies, socks, mittens etc...
At least i found out now & not a few weeks before she was due. Still going to be very expensive but at least i do it slowly & lay by if i have to.

Hi ladies, thought I'd pop in here (after reading the thread) and join you all (if you don't mind that is)

Had an u/s on the 1st of June (internal u/s) and we saw a yolk sac measuring at 5w3d - 4 days behind what I thought I was. Due date is between 24th to 28th Jan 2012. Was on my first dose of Metformin, and we had only been TTC for 2 months before finding out I was pg. It took 14 months (after a loss at 7wks in June 07) for us to fall pg with DS and thought it would take that long with this one too (and we didn't have much confidence cause we didn't DTD that much!) Not made a P.A. yet or changed my sig until we have seen a heartbeat.

Anyways, next appt is on the 10th June. I best head off, as we're supposed to be enjoying our last day in the Gold Coast before flying back home to Perth and having to go back to work Wednesday

welcome darkdreamer & a very big congrats! all the best.. the ladies in here are lovely :D

hey jenna, lovely to hear all is going well and OMG!!! already!?!?!?!? how will dh take that news? ahh i hope you are how exciting!!

cheshire - spewing you lost most of your clothes :(

possum - hmm yes you victorians are a different breed ;) just kidding, there are alot of words i say/dh says and we dont understand eachother! funny how there is a "launguage barrier" in each state!

hello to all the yummy mummies..

im sick atm :( i have a cold! the pharmacy wouldnt give me anything other than antihisthimine, and the nurse on call told me not to take it! so im just living on soothers and snore strips of a night for dh's sake.. he hasnt been sleeping well due to my snoring lmao!! so i had a sickie today to just rest a little bit, plus work p*ssed me off on friday so i thought id stick it up em a little bit

hope everyone is having a lovely start to the week.. mmmm i can smell my cinnamon crumble muffins in the oven yum!

Alish i had a horrible cold not long so i really feel you.
I lived off strepsils, honey & lemon hot tea plus panadol.
BTW i was told Polarmine was fine to take just not in your 3rd tri, but your pretty close to reaching your 3rd tri now so not much help.

Congrats DD & i hope you get to see a nice strong HB on Fri :)

alish.....i am the same. I think i am getting sick...and dd is sick.....i have been using panadol..soothers and vaporiser.....hope u feel better soon

dark dreamer......congratulations and a happy healthy nine months to u.....hope everything is ok with ur bubs

cheshire....im sorry to hear about all the clothes etc......hopefully u can pull some stuff together

jenna.....hey..how u? Oh wow........how do u feel f u are pregnant?

Pm.........i know alot people tend to say that obs tend to do csectons for convience etc.......he has said because of the risks to the scar and that he cant induce me. He wont let me go much over 40 weeks etc...i have an app with him this week so i will speak to him about it all.

Im not feeling well at all at the moment. Im not sleeping. Getting headaches. Heart burn. Sore throat. Tired. Achy. Few period type pains........arrgggggghhhhhhhhhh joys of pregnancy.......think im starting to feel it all now.....six weeks to go

Hi everyone sorry that i am falling behind. Its so hard with a lil one being so young and being pregnat again.

Anyone else got that feeling that they are walking around with a pillow strapped to their front? Or one up the jumper? I kind of feel like that when i sit down. Funny old baby bump! That's all.. my random comment for the day!

Alish: Love the revenge sickie!
Dark Dreamer: FX and sticky vibes to you!
Melster: It's certainly a sign that you are in the last few weeks when you start to feel totally over being pregnant. I'm sorry you are feeling so out of sorts. Not fun : (

possum - i said to dh i feel like i am walking with a big stride or something! i feel like my shoulders really swing back and forth and my belly is just this huge thing out in front of me! everyone is starting to say geeeez youre getting big! and its all the men who come into work too so im hoping they dont mean my a$$ too! lol

melster - i never thought of the vaporiser.. my mum had one i wonder if she still has it, prob worth investing in one anyway! i used to have to have one on all the time when i was younger! i hope you start feeling better soon.. it must be going around, its exactly how i feel (minus the achy) but i must admit i dont feel as bad today so hopefully yours is only a few days too!

cheshire - yeah thats what they told me too, im closer to my third trimester than anything so i just dont want to risk it..!? does that make sense??

hope everyone has a nice day today!

Alish it makes perfect sense, i wouldn't want to risk it either.

PM i look like i swallowed a basketball, i'm one of those ladies that carry all out front, in the tummy & boobs.

Morning ladies...

Angelfish....how far are you now? and how old is the little one? Have you got really bad morning sickness? it must be difficult. I know what it felt like with DD2 and this one....yuk!!!!!!!!! Hopefully you will feel better soon

PM......my stomach is feeling real heavy down the bottom...its the strangest feeling..kinda like my belly sits on my lap...im more out front this time...and im big..but not as big as last time........Yes i am defiantly starting to feel very close now..its all hit me i think

Alish...i love the vap especially with DD because she cant have cough medicine or anything. Im defiantly glad i invested in one, i have used it heaps..for myself and DD.....takes the chill of the room and i use the vicks double dose drops...

ATM...i dont know if its because im in the last stages of pregnancy or i am sick...but i am feeling REALLY pooey........everything is aching, my throats sore, my body is soooooooooooo tired, i cant move very fast and everything is becoming quiet hard to do and i am heaps slower, i just dont have the energy...had a few period pains and braxtons..headaches..and feeling of nausea... so its really hard to tell if its a cold or just the late stages of pregnancy. Im starting to get fluid and my legs feel heaps bigger and dimply...YUK YUK YUK.....if i keep the way i am going i'll have a 15 kilo difference between DD and this baby...but im still feeling very chubby and uncomfortable..cant wait to hit gym again and diet again...

I have six weeks to go this week and seeing ob thursday so i will speak to him about everything...im no closer to a decision csection v's vbac. I swing from one decision to another depending on how i feel, who i talk to and whats happening...every night with the heart burn i keep saying csection LOL LOL.....guess i will come up with a decision eventually....

Cant believe i am next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could be three weeks if i have the csection

Hi girls!!!!!!!!!

So sorry i havent posted! Life as im sure you can imagine, has been a little busy!

Our little man is doing so well! He is a very content little newborn.... so far! He is sleeping great and b/feeding is going well :)

We have settled back home really well and DH and I make a great team! DH is so hands on and we are enjoying every precious moment of our parenting experience together! Being a mum is even more amazing than i could have ever imagined! We are so in love with this little boy, still cant stop gazing at him!

I had an operation yesterday to remove the kidney stent so hopefully thats our last hospital visit for a while! NOw we can step forward and get on with our new lives as a family :)

We had a beautiful birth, even though a caesar wasnt how i had imagined it, it was still so special! OUr ob held up our little boy over the screen for us to see the sex of him and it was so amazing! He is just perfect in every way! DH was able to cut the cord and give him a cuddle within minutes and then it was my turn for a cuddle! I was able to have him for the hour we were in recovery and he even had a little feed - even though we both had no idea what we were doing! lol!

Im recovering so well after the caesar, barely had any pain and the incision is healing a treat! I think i am just so busy and still on a high that i havnt noticed it! He is sleeping 3-4 hrly over night which is great but and are we tired! my little eye balls arent looking to crash hot!

Im finding b/feeding quite good, i was never sure how i would go with it but i really enjoy the bonding time and knowing that i am helping that little body grow is pretty awesome! He had to have 2 formula bottles last night cause i didnt have enough expressed milk after yesterdays operation, he didnt love it but DH finally got him to take it :)

Anyway i hope you have all been well and sorry if i have missed lots! I will try to catch up soon but thank you so much for all your well wishes :)

xx

PS - What a surreal moment - making my little man a ticker!! Wow! What a dream! Pinch me!!

T-hopes - that's awesome to hear! I'm so glad you're enjoying that wonderful journey of motherhood. I have to say a big Yay to your kidneys for seeing you through so long!

That's it for now - sorry for lack of persies, I'm just knackered! Same ole same ole here, nothing to say :)

Welcome DD - great to see you in here, hope that is a lovely sticky bub :D

Melster~ yes its very hard. I am getting so depressed i never lost the weight from honor and she has a bad reflux issues and i am so tired that i feel as if i cant do what i need to for her. I am 9weeks 6 days.

T-hopes congrats

Hey everyone,

Hey Thopes...good to hear from you. Well i hope all is going to be good now with you're kidneys and you get no more issues. How did you imagine the csection would be? Things sound great..im glad everything is going well and you're on top of the moon

Hey wannabe.......try and get some rest!!!!

Angelfish..my girlfriend is the same, her daughter is six months i think and she is 3/4months pregnant. She said she hasnt lost any of the weight that she put on and she said her stomach is really big and popped out. She said she is tired but also said she is so busy with her daughter that she sometimes forget she is pregnant. Hopefully the ruflux issues wont last long...is she on anything for it? and a few more weeks until you hit the second trimester so hopefully you can get a second wind there..i felt better then and didnt feel as tired. Have you got any help, anyone that can take her and give you a rest....can she stay somewhere for one night just to give you a break? hows you're partner been?

atm..........It was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard to get outa bed this morning, im lucky i only work two days because i dont think i could handle it at this stage of the pregnancy. I cant wait to have a sleep in tomorrow, and its so cold!!!!!!!!!!! I hate when its cold and dark i find it really difficult to get out of bed..its going to be very interesting with a winter baby and having to feed.....

Im still feeling absolutley terrible!!!!!!!! think its a cold as well as the end of a pregnancy...had a few period pains but nothing much...feeling real heavy down the bottom at the moment

Dad has finished his radiation now and there cutting him back on his chemo tablets so i am hoping he will feel a bit better. He has been feeling sick and hasnt been eating and drinking and he has actually been quiet grumpy and moody...i am also hoping his eye site will improve a little because he is struggling a bit...

Melster~ I dont really get help at all my bf is working now and this past sunday was the frist time in a long time i went out with his mom to go shopping and i was gone for a couple of hours and she was mad at me for a day would not smile or look at me. I hit ten weeks yeah !!! i go in for an us on the 17th so i am looking forward to that. As far as the reflux goes i have hopeful got a handle on it its been acting up alittle since the ped gave me the green light to go ahead with rice ceral with fruit in it. She really is a good baby. When she smiles and laughs it makes me so happy and i cant wait for a second one. But his kids are coming over this weekend and they will not let her sleep if she falls asleep near then or in the car they will poke at her really imture for there ages.

AFM~ we got good news in from Child support my bf was NOT in voilation at all and his ex was taking him to court for $48. that he was three days behind in paying i think that she should have to pay the court fees for wasting the courts time she only did this becosue i was pregnat at the time and i was getting all the attion from my bfs mom who is friends with her. I hope all is well with everyone

Melster hope your OB goes well today & i hope your dad starts to pick up now he is finished with radiation therapy.

hey...

angelfish.......i was such a nartzie when dd was little with sleeping and noise and them playing with her....i was so protective etc.......but the step kids would make so much noise and it would drive me wild if they woke her up......

Thanks cheshire

atm......went to the ob today and i am measuring a week ahead...hb 143.....told him how sick i am and he said its probably just the end of pregnancy....... I talked to him about everything and i am booked in for a csection for when he gets back on the 14th but can change it on the day and can change my mind....he has got someone to cover me for a vbac if he is away....and said he can induce me if need if i am dialated.......so now i have a few more weeks to decide what i am doing or let nature take its course...but he is happy for me to vbac....

that's a great outcome Melster!

Sorry I keep just dropping in, life's a bit mental. I'm going away for the weekend - catch you all later!

today is my birthday and its been the worst day of my life the one thing that saved my day is my little girl Honor and the new one that is on the way. Honor was all smiles and giggles today and i kept crying not out of sadness but i thankgod for my little baby girl.

angelfish......happy bday....im sorry its been the worst day....can i ask why? Thinking of u

Hi there everyone! Just joining this thread. I got my BFP last Tues and FX it's second time lucky after my m/c in January. Trying not to stress about m/c again but it's difficult! I am 5 weeks 2 days and EDD is February 8th.


Sent from my iPod touch - sorry for any mistakes!

Melster~ it has to deal with my bf and his kids. We got into a big fight and i was going to do him a favor and watch his kids for him but after the way he talked to me i told him that i would not watch them for him. Then he threw his phone at me and was yelling at me to call his job to tell them that he was quieting his job. After that he told me that he wanted me to leave so i said okay then he picks up honor and gives her a kiss and says daddy loves you but mommy is going to keep you away from me which is not true. Then he said that i hate his kids which is not true i hate what they do i hate how they act.

Angelfish: Sorry you had a horrible day. I hope things get better.
Melster: That's great that you have more time to think and a few options open to you. Hey, you're getting so close, do you have any names picked out yet?
Phebee: congrats on the BFP! Sticky vibes to you!

Hi everyone else! Can't remember what other persies i need to do but lol to whoever said they look like they swallowed a basketball! That is exactly the way I am carrying as well! All in the front.
AFM: Not much happening here. DD is asking me every day 'when is the baby coming out'? It must feel like forever for her. It feels like forever to me!

Phebee - Welcome to the thread. We all completely understand about the stress as well as joy that a new pregnancy brings.

Angelfish - I'm sorry you had such a bad day. Have you and your partner considered counselling? Maybe you should think about it. I think if one person is threatening to leave then it's time to take it seriously.

Melster - sounds as though you have your options laid out and still have time to make up your mind. Sorry to hear you are feeling so sick still.

Possum - I was telling DH that I am so over this pregnancy because, as far as I'm concerned, it's a two year pregnancy. I got pregnant Feb 09, lost that bub but kept getting pregnant within a few months only to lose them as well. So I am well and truly over this pregnancy because it does feel like all the one pregnancy.

Was it you that asked me about the sex of bub? I do know but am saving it for the birth, though I let slip to my sister accidentally by saying him/her on the phone and she was really angry with me as she didn't want to know.

hey ladies......

im going to have a big winge.....i feel like death warmed up......after a week of feeling horrible i went to the drs walk in clinic and i have accute pharingitis (sorry dont know how to spell it) and he has given me antibotics.......when i cough now it absolutely kills my chest and ribs....my throat is aching...blocked nose and so on....but i think when ur pregnant it seems 100 times worse......then on top of that the throat lollies and lemon etc is too acidic and my heart burn is absolute agony.....so i dont sleep at night because the cold air. not able to breath the constant hb and peeing.......i feel like a walking grumpy zombie.....my leg goes dead so im constantly rolling over...desperate to sleep on my stomach...and now i have lost my voice.......arrggghhhhhhhh theres my winge......i must be dehydrated because my lips are all dry.....

yeah thankfully i have a few more weeks to think about what i will do about the labour......i have an appointment it two weeks with the ob...then go weekly....

Went to my friends baby shower who is due the same time as me.....that was good..bit cold tho

pm.....yep 5 weeks this week or 4 if i have the csection........with dd i had her name from the start....this ones been hard and i keep swaying.....its driving me bonkers.........this pregnancy feels like its taken forever but at the same token it doesnt...its wiered

indias mum........i know i have been keeping my secret.....i say he/she and i know its a she......i tend to say she anyways because of my dd..so no one has really picked it up

angelfish........oh i can so sympathise with ur situation and ur dh.....sometimes when u say things its like i am saying it myself....how many skids do u have? How are things now? Its so hard being on either ends....my hubby is the same..he thinks i hate his kids....but its just not like that....think they cant understand why we dont feel the same way as they do......and its just different when there not ur own.....and its just different due to the situations

pheobee........welcome and congratulations.....happy healthy nine months to u

Hi everyone, just a me post today :( I almost rejoined you all even though it wasn't planned.

After a faint BFP on friday morning with 2nd MU I started spotting on friday night and now *TMI* I'm bleeding, bright red and cramping pretty bad. Sunday I was 12dpo going from when I first started to get O pains, and I had pink spotting round 5dpo.
Feeling slightly glad that it ended so soon as DD is only 10.5wks old, but also sad and disappointed that I don't get to grow another bub inside me And frustrated that my body could fail again even when we weren't trying.

Belly rubs to you all and sending out heaps and heaps of super sticky vibes!

Sorry, just ducking in really quickly to say I'm reading but don't have time to post - DS just grabbed the mouse and tried to translate this page - um, oops! DH and I went away for the weekend - it was lovely to just spend the time together :)

Jenna - I'm really sorry for your loss :( I hope you're doing ok.

Love and belly rubs to all - hope I'll be in here to properly send messages soon!

Morning,

Hope everyone had a good long weekend.

Jenna....Im sorry for you're loss, hope you're doing ok..

Hey wannabe..hope you're feeling ok

Hello everyone.....were is everyone? Its way to quiet on here lately

ATM.........im feeling soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo shocking its not funny. I could almost cry, its probably hormones as well tho. My ribs feel like they are broken and i am seriously scared to cough!!!!! yesterday i did nothing, i managed to get in the bath and thats about it. Im at work today but am seriously regretting it but i thought with only a couple weeks too go they might crack it...

My belly has been really hard as well...few period pains..but thats about it at the moment...5 weeks to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

melster hope you feel better soon..

jenna...how very sad, thinking of you!
